The PST and making money

We should not be making money with our telescopes. We should freely show
other folks the wonders of this universe that God created and educate them
regarding light pollution at the same time. Our payment is a reduction in
light pollution.

Telescopes are tools. Some people use their tools to make a living?

For most of us, telescopes are toys. The only guy I know who uses toys
to make a living is the Duncan Yo Yo Man, and I haven't heard anything
from him recently.

Joe,

This might be a better career opportunity than being "PST Man," or perhaps
someone could become a Duncan Yo Yo Man and H-alpha Man (or Woman). Maybe
Duncan would be interested in resurrecting Yo-Yo Man with a new "hook."

Clear skies, Alan

Set up a vga cam (CCD) so it can capture image from eyepeice and sell
the photos... not the actuall live viewing. (I did this with my
AudioVox camra phone, produce 640x480 and can xfer it to local email
server running on a laptop w/ wifi in the car.

Of course you'll need a good color printer to produce it.

What was the last thing you did for free that cost you something Sam? Just
curious. It's usually the ones that make the most "giving" noise that
actually do the least

Hmm, what does Sam contribute to saa for free? Usually he
donates some of the most knowledgeable posts I read. From the
way he writes them, I know he is experienced at sharing
knowledge whether he gets paid or not.
